Real Estate Junk Removal and Cleanout

Posted by Junk King on Apr 27, 2010 3:56:02 PM


There are a number of tasks for real estate agents, brokers, property management professionals and companies to complete before putting a home up for sale.

 To maximize profits from a sale, a home needs to look good from all perspectives. There certainly can’t be any clutter around the house – all the previous owner’s furniture, appliances and junk needs to be hauled off prior to showing the property to any prospective buyers.

Specific tasks include getting rid of junk from the attic and basement of the home, two places that are hard to access and usually contain the most clutter. Even though the attic or basement might seem like a room that a prospective buyer won’t necessarily care about, it makes a huge difference showing an uncluttered space where the person can imagine placing their own furniture in the future.

The yard is another often overlooked spot that can make a big difference in making a sale. Any yard waste – including fallen branches, piles of leaves, old construction materials, or piles of wood can detract from the overall value of a home. Prospective buyers should be able to easily imagine their kids and pets playing on an uncluttered and beautiful lawn. Getting rid of all this yard waste is integral before putting a home up for sale.

One huge mistake can be to show a property with a filled dumpster still nearby. This is highly unprofessional and can drastically draw from the overall value of the home. Any junk removal should be done in a fast and efficient manner prior to showing, without leaving behind any traces of junk that might surprise prospective buyers.
